What fluo light was that,photo light? The pictures are so good,that I´d like to describe larval parts based on them.Perhaps in another thread?.I don´t want to mess with your?   #12 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis Friday, November 25, 2011 10:07 AM (permalink) Actually, Luis, the light was only coming from below.  Some may have been reflected off of the top of the water drop, or perhaps even the camera lens.  Feel free to copy the images to another thread, and if you need me to send them to you, just email me.   I'll try and see if I can get some even better ones that are less grainy later tonight.  If I understand this species correctly, it takes about 4 days for the first molt, so they should still be at the first zoeal stage this evening, I think.   #13 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis Friday, November 25, 2011 8:55 PM (permalink) OK, Luis here you go!  This time, the animal was in a drop of water on a microscope slide elevated on the inverted bowl, and the bowl was sitting on a 20 gallon tank on its side.  The light was a simple clamp-on light with a 6500K compact fluorescent bulb.  I had a black filter sponge in the background.  Shot at 100 ISO, 1/60 and 1/100 second, with the stock 28-90 mm zoom lens that came with the Canon Rebel XT, on a bellows, extended quite far out.  This time, the camera was on a tripod, and I used the mirror lock-up feature and a remote shutter control.   EDIT:  The light was below the animal, inside the 20 gallon, to the upper left in these images.       <message edited by JimWelsh on Saturday, November 26, 2011 1:05 AM> Attached Image(s)   #14 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis Friday, November 25, 2011 9:04 PM (permalink) Sames images, zoomed and cropped better ( I hope! ):     Attached Image(s)   #15 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis Friday, November 25, 2011 9:14 PM (permalink) Dang Jim... awesome... just awesome! -Adam   #16 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis Saturday, November 26, 2011 5:56 PM (permalink) Dang…Sweet!   #17 JimWelsh Total Posts : 1426 Reward points : 1486 Joined: 1/22/2010 Location: Angwin, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 1845 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Breeding Journal, Species: Lysmata amboinensis Sunday, November 27, 2011 8:33 PM (permalink) Zoea 2.  These images aren't as good as I'd like, and they are probably the last ones I'll get from this hatch, as this batch is going downhill fast.  I have too many other things I'm dealing with right now, and I'll always have more of these larvae to work with later.         Attached Image(s)   #18 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
